Let's Get Started

To reduce the risk of injury user must read instruction manuals for all tools used in this
project. Wear eye and respiratory protection. Use clamps to support work piece whenever practical.

STEP 1

STEP 1

Begin by selecting two matching chairs. They could be
an old set ready for a make-over, or search flea
markets to find a pair that fit your style.

STEP 2

STEP 2

Using a hammer, gently tap the underside of the
seat to remove the cushions from both chairs.

STEP 3

STEP 3

Next, using the MM20 equipped with the MM450
Wood & Drywall Saw Blade, cut off the tops of the
legs flush with the seat supports to create a flat
surface area.
Repeat this step in all four corners of each chair.

STEP 4

STEP 4

To ensure that the surface will be flat, use the
MM20 with a sanding pad to smooth the top of
each leg.

STEP 5

STEP 5

Measure and mark a piece of 3/4" plywood to the
desired length and width for the bench platform.
Using the US40 equipped with the US500
Carbide Wood Cutting Wheel, cut the plywood
along the marked lines.

STEP 6

STEP 6

To create a better fit where the platform meets
the back of the chair, use the US40 and US500
wheel to cut off the four bench corners.

STEP 7

STEP 7

To create a plush and finished look, use a
measuring tape and scissors to cut foam and
fabric for the seat. The foam can be cut to the
dimensions of the platform.
When cutting the fabric, leave enough over hang
on the sides and ends so you can wrap it and
secure it to the bottom of the platform.

STEP 8

STEP 8

Layer the fabric and foam on the platform. Beginning in
one corner, and working your way around each edge, pull
the fabric tight as you secure it to the underside of the
plywood with a stapler or brads.

STEP 9

STEP 9

With the upholstered side of the platform laying on a flat
surface, place one chair seat on each end, and secure
the bench to the chairs using a driver and 3/4" corner
braces.
Once complete, and with one person on each side,
carefully flip the completed bench over and into place in
your room. Then, let the relaxing begin!
